Le Tchad de nos jours. Adam, la soixantaine, ancien champion de natation est maitre nageur de la piscine d'un hôtel de luxe à N'Djamena. Lors du rachat de l'hôtel par des repreneurs chinois, il doit laisser la place à son fils Abdel. Il vit très mal cette situation qu'il considère comme une déchéance sociale. Le pays est en proie à la guerre civile et les rebelles armés menacent le pouvoir. Le gouvernement, en réaction, fait appel à la population pour un "effort de guerre" exigeant d'eux argent ou enfant en âge de combattre les assaillants. Adam est ainsi harcelé par son Chef de Quartier pour sa contribution. Mais Adam n'a pas d'argent, il n'a que son fils... (Pyramide Distribution)

All of us have our own ideas about happiness and contentment, but not everyone can fulfill them. Adam lives in a poor and turbulent Central African country, but fate has been kind to him for a long time. He had a decently paid job that was also his hobby, and his family was doing well. But happiness cannot last forever, and one day Adam loses his job. He loses his social status and, above all, the purpose of his life. What is he willing to pay to maintain his position? The price may seem acceptable, especially if someone else pays it. But the consequences of our decisions and actions sometimes catch up with us unexpectedly and hit us in the most sensitive spot... I really wouldn't want to bear Adam's burden. A Screaming Man is an intimate low-budget arthouse film where you have to deal with a slower pace, but emotionally it is a strong experience. Overall impression: 80%.

The drama from civil war-torn Chad is shot in a sophisticated French style, with a moving story, but it is also a model case of being touching. It’s all literally said and presented not for reflection, but for a kind of engaged sniffling. I simply do not like films like this. [KVIFF 2010]
